I go for a work every day at a park near my home. Usually, I also see a few children playing at the park during the time, and they always accompanied by an adult Last week, when I went to the park, I saw the children instead of playing, we’re actually unapproaching the flowers and the plants. I tried to see if there was an adult nearby who knew the children. There was a few others who were here for a work like me, but I didn’t think anyone knew the children. Some of them had also stopped and were thinking about what to do. However, an old uncle couldn’t, uh, watch this any longer. He went up and he went up to the kids and told them to stop doing that immediately. However, instead of scolding, well, he started telling them that how plants are living be living beings like us and uprooting them is like the killing them. He then tried to make the best situation and ask the children to help Himry plant the trees saying there’s some of the other people all, and I also joined, in and have to him. At first, I was very angry, but I also knew that the children didn’t understand the consequences of their action. After listening to the uncle, they stopped and actually have been replanting the plants. Still, some of plants had broke a roof and we knew nothing could be done to save them. But we didn’t may say anything to the children because we didn’t want to make them feel even more guilty. When a person came to pick them up, we did explain the situation. He Apollo he apologized on behalf of the children and told us that he was worried. He was sorry for leaving them unattended. I learned the one thing that the old man rather than holding children for their mistakes, uh, it is our responsibility as a a society to guide them and enable them to become better human beings.

I go to work every day at a park near my home. Usually, I also see a few children playing at the park during that time, and they're always accompanied by an adult. Last week, when I went to the park, I saw the children, instead of playing, were actually uprooting the flowers and plants. I tried to see if there was an adult nearby who knew the children. There were a few others who were there for work like me, but I didn't think anyone knew the children. Some of them had also stopped and were thinking about what to do. However, an old uncle couldn't watch this any longer. He went up to the kids and told them to stop doing that immediately. However, instead of scolding, he started telling them that plants are living beings like us, and uprooting them is like killing them. He then tried to make the best of the situation and asked the children to help him plant the trees, saying there were some other people who could help as well, and I also joined in to help him. At first, I was very angry, but I also knew that the children didn't understand the consequences of their actions. After listening to the uncle, they stopped and actually started replanting the plants. Still, some of the plants had broken roots, and we knew nothing could be done to save them. But we didn't say anything to the children because we didn't want to make them feel even more guilty. When a person came to pick them up, we did explain the situation. He apologized on behalf of the children and told us that he was worried. He was sorry for leaving them unattended. I learned that one thing the old man did was, rather than holding the children responsible for their mistakes, it is our responsibility as a society to guide them and enable them to become better human beings.
